Fingerings by Judith Braun: Symmetrical abstractions created with her fingers dipped in charcoal dust, often using both hands and arms simultaneously. “Abstraction keeps the images free to be anything, while the symmetry resolves that fluidity into something, like liquid energy crystallizing. Working within constraints prompts a proliferation of possibilities that self organize into groups and subgroups, from which I then choose some to render carefully by hand…with diamond dust.”
